016 in a rectangular box (price code though it's not explicitly mentioned on this release)
- INNERSLEEVE: Plain white paper innersleeve, die-cut from the other side only to show the center label (probably the original innersleeve).
- RELEASED: Probably originally released in 1984 though based on the runouts this might be a repress.
- NOTE: This is a excellent quality though slightly stuffy sounding vinyl.
In fact this is one of the best quality (if not even THE best quality) Finnish made vinyl I have ever played.

Spinefarm Records, SPI 13, black vinyl
- BARCODE: none
- RUNOUTS: side A, etched: MPO SPI 13 A1
side B, etched: MPO SPI 13 B1
- NUMBER OF SONGS: 8 (4/4)
- VINYL: cut at and pressed by MPO
- CENTER LABELS: black center labels with white text,
℗&© 1993 SPIN-FARM, TEOSTO n©b
- COVER: simple glossy cover
- INNERSLEEVE: white paper innersleeve
- RELEASED: Most likely made and released in 1993.
- OTHER: Supposedly originally included lyrics insert (my copy did not have the insert).
- NOTE 1: This is the first LP edition made by MPO for Spinefarm. Due the rarity of this LP I seriously doubt no more than 500-1 000 copies were ever made.
After the band had quit Century Media released reissues on at least black, green, white and green marbled vinyl.
- NOTE 2: The sound quality of this record is excellent, clearly beats the original Spinefarm CD and all the other CD editions of this album I have listened to!
(This was one of the first 10 LPs added to this site and was only played a few times with not-the-best-possible equipment.
I might, and probably would, have a second opinion nowadays if I still had this LP.)

- NOTE 2: The pressing quality might be better as the edges are warped and both records are pressed slightly off-center in addition to the bowl-shaped etched record.
Sounds clinic and dull though quite good.
Never yet seen a perfectly flat etched record, they usually can be used as fruit bowls but can also be played.
- NOTE 3: Crimson has been released on vinyl only once before this 2016 edition: GZ pressed 1 000 copies on picture vinyl in 2000 but due to the length of the album
without the track My Slowing Heart.

Originally released sealed with infosticker and a round blue sticker on the front on shrinkwrap and a barcode sticker on the back under shrinkwrap.
Limited to 200 copies on transparent blue vinyl (source: EMP + http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=17146&IdCompany=3)
- NOTE 1: Also released on:
* black unlimited vinyl (available everywhere)
* white vinyl (Levykauppa X exclusive, limited to 200 copies)
* clear vinyl (cmdistro Europe exclusive, limited to 100 copies)
* silver vinyl (cmdistro US exclusive, limited to 100 copies)
(source: http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=17146&IdCompany=3 + Levykauppa X and Finnish EMP).
- NOTE 2: The cutting quality is excellent and bassy but the pressing quality might be just a little better (both sides are pressed off-center and
slight bumps on the records surface).
- NOTE 3: The Cold White Light has been released on vinyl only once before these 2016 reissues: Century Media had (supposedly) 1 000 copies pressed on clear vinyl,
that vinyl was not pressed by Optimal Media. Century Media erroneously claims this was previously released on black vinyl.

- INNERSLEEVE: black polylined paper innersleeve, die-cut to show the center labels (the original innersleeve)
- RELEASED: Most likely on 5th of August 2016 though some people claim this wasn't released until 12th of August 2016.
- OTHER: Includes lyrics insert and Century Media add.
Originally released sealed with infosticker and a round gold/mirror sticker on the front on shrinkwrap and a barcode sticker on the back under shrinkwrap.
Limited to 100 copies on gold coloured vinyl (source: Finnish EMP webshop)
though also claimed to be limited to 200 copies by Century Media (source: http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=17146&IdCompany=3).
- NOTE 1: Also released on
* black unlimited vinyl (available everywhere)
* silver vinyl (Levykauppa X exclusive, limited to 200 copies)
* clear vinyl (cmdistro Europe exclusive, limited to 100 copies)
(source: http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=17146&IdCompany=3 + Levykauppa X and EMP).
- NOTE 2: All the other colours sold by EMP and Levykauppa X were still available in late November 2016 but this golden one was sold out already in September.
Therefore it seems these were sold out fast and because of that I'm more inclined to believe the EMPs version of the limitation amount.
None of these 2016 reissues are numbered.
- NOTE 3: The cutting quality is excellent and bassy but the pressing quality might be just a little better (B-side is pressed off-center).
